Setting Current Date

[John Juhl]

Hi guys,

I’m trying to figure out how to make this work:

• I have a CheckMark field
• and would like to make value in a Date field change
• when the CheckMark field is Checked

I’ve tried different Script Approaches, with no luck so far

How would I do this?

Hi John,

What script have you written to do this?

Something like this should work:

function setCurrentDate() {
var check_field_id = "fld-.....";
var date_field_id = "fld-....";
var check_value = record.getFieldValue(check_field_id);
if (check_value == 1) {
record.setFieldValue(date_field_id, new Date());
}
form.saveAllChanges();

}

setCurrentDate();

Hi Brendan,

thanks for your reply – I don’t recall at the moment what I tried, but from what I can read out of your Script I did get the check-field syntax wrong, since I worked with true/false instead of 0/1.

It’s a bit late here in Denmark right now, but I’ll have a play with your script first thing in the morning.

 

Thanks,

John.

Works like a clock :)

Another Question:

Is it possible to make fields visible depending on values in other fields (conditional)?

Hi John,

Well, sort of. But because fields are on a form basis, if you hide a field in one record, it will hide that field for every record.

field.hideField = true;
